weird... almost makes me want to check whatsup now because if theres stagnant water just chillin in there it's eventually going to cause mold/mildew buildup which is absolutely disgusting

Yea, it wasn't like it was puddles of water in there but it was enough for me to take notice. Especially since it was just from a little rain... not like it went through the car wash like the other person.

either way water shouldn't be getting in our cars... The small amount of splash that might occasionally isn't a big deal because it dries so quickly but if you're finding water that hasn't dried it's most likely because of the amount of water getting through which is no bueno.

I have heard a few squeaks and rattles in my FR-S, but not consistently and not anything I wouldn't expect. I guess I'm just not terribly picky about such things. I did have a problem with the driver window auto close, but it somehow fixed itself. Not leaks hear even in touch-free automatic car washes. The cars shouldn't leak at all.

Ask him about the burning smell people are getting in the car. Are there gasket/oil sealing issues that he knows about? Is there a fix in the works? Our cars smell terrible at low speeds..

That's why there is drain holes in the bottom of the doors, my advice check that these holes are clear and spray some rust preventative oil in there or get it undercoated ( oil sprayed underneath, inside the doors, the rocker panels and in any other seam). This is what most most people do for vehicles that are winter driven, but it wouldn't hurt to do it regardless as this will help in general with corrosion. My $.02

Sounds like every other dealer trip I've had. Went last week; they couldn't find any interior rattles and my transmission operation was normal according to them.
